Great info. His athletic ability really jumps off the paper in his film. Hope he fills out and works hard in the weight room.This is a response to Tomcat’s post in the Spring Visitors thread:
That was Oakley on the far right in the Liverpool pic. He was measured at 6’6” 180lbs. Not sure if this can be shared, so please edit out if need be, but apparently each recruit is given a number rating. The lower the number, the higher priority the recruit. I don’t have any information re: metrics to establish those numbers, but I do know that Oakley did qualify for a scholarship. However, they really want to see him dedicate himself to adding significant weight before they decide to pull the trigger with that offer.
The take home message for him was that they’re going to keep a close eye on his progress.
One thing that stood out to me was was that despite his father’s allegiance to Clemson, he said that he would be fully on board if Oakley decided to go to Syracuse. He said the energy up there was palpable and you could tell a change in this program was coming.
On a sidenote, Oakley plans to camp at Syracuse, Clemson and Notre Dame this summer
If so, he has a chance to get a LOT of scholarship offers.
